YES
specifies that the export operation is to replace an existing edit file. If the
edit file exists, the file is purged, a new edit file is created, and the export
operation transfers information to the new edit file.
NO
specifies that the export operation is not to replace an existing edit file. If
the edit file exists, the export operation fails.
IMPORT
specifies that information is to be transferred from an edit file to the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS command help database: that is, help information is imported
to the database.
Note The import operation fails if you have not opened the NonStop NET/MASTER MS command help
database as a UDB pair, or the UDB pair does not have a UDB identifier of ZHLPDB.
The KEY operand specifies the help string used to identify the information in the
database. The FILE operand specifies the edit file. Importing operates as follows:
If the help string does not exist in either the customized or distributed
database, the help information for that help string is imported to the
customized database.
If the help string exists in the customized database but not the distributed
database, the help information for that help string is imported to the
customized database: new help information replaces the existing help
information in the customized database.
If the help string exists in the distributed database but not the customized
database, the help information for that help string is imported to the
customized database: new help information in the customized database
logically updates the help information in the distributed database. This is
because the help information in the customized database “hides” the help
information in the distributed database.
If the help string exists in both the customized and distributed databases, the
help information for that help string is imported to the customized database:
new help information replaces the existing help information in the customized
database.
After an import operation, use NonStop NET/MASTER MS online help or the
Help Maintenance facility to look at the help information. Refer to the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS System Management Guide for information on the Help
Maintenance facility and on how to insert formatting codes in the help information
before an import operation.
